Fill the bottom part of the electric Cuban coffee maker with water up to the marked line, ensuring it's below the valve.

Fill the coffee insert with organic Cuban coffee, packing it tightly to ensure a strong brew.

Attach the top of the coffee maker securely to prevent dripping.

Turn on the electric coffee maker and wait for the coffee to brew.

Once the coffee starts to come out, collect the first few drops to make the foam.

Use a fork to mix the sugar into the first coffee drops until it turns a light brown or beige color, indicating it's ready for the foam.

Stir the mixture until it becomes frothy and light in color, then pour the brewed coffee into cups, leaving the foam on top.

Optionally, add milk to the coffee to make a cortadito or drink it black.
